August 29, 2009. Take the A train to Dykeman Street, said Philip. You’ll see these marvelous billboards. I did. Paper ads are torn away, excavated, to reveal what is beneath, but not in neat layers. Rather in subsequent layers, overlays, color upon color, words shapes forms, bits and pieces. A view from above if I was in space – 10 snapshots in time – but none of them wholly in charge of the final work. I especially like the bits of green outlining the borders of the white space. The peace sign seems appropriate to the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love.
